I’m FINE

Definition of Fine: Fucked Up. Insecure. Neurotic. Emotional.

How many times do you tell others, and yourself, that you’re fine? It’s a very British answer when anyone asks how you are, even if you’re in a good place, but it generally means that you’re anything but. So next time, instead of just saying you’re fine, tell people you’re fucked up, insecure, neurotic and emotional. They may laugh and you’ll soon realise that everyone else is feeling the same.

So here’s a thought. How about thinking of a range of responses to the ‘How are you?’ question so that, next time, you let people know exactly how you’re feeling? Try them out in the mirror and see how they feel. It’s amazing how you can change your mood by the language you use.
